Author whose candid treatment of sex in such novels as Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn clashed with traditional mores and censorship standards. ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, February 9, 1967. Letter to friend Jim Bishop. In part: “That was indeed a great surprise to receive the photos…I only regret that I looked so glum or sombre! The other day I received a magazine from Japan called ‘The Town’ in which there was an interview with me by Tonoyama, the actor. I wish you could see the wonderful color photos of me (looking really gay) they printed. I wish I could find out the process they use. Like it so much better than ours.” In fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds, and some light edge toning. RRAuction COA.
